Don't forget to count these in your network

Intermittent network problems affecting only some computers on the network can be frustrating to diagnose. That's exactly what can happen if you have too many devices on the network for your ASA license.

A common mistake is to count only the computers, rather than all the devices on the network. Printers and other network devices also have IP addresses, so don't forget to count them when you're figuring how many licenses you need.

Because it's so easy to make this mistake, be wary of accepting someone else's word that there are only so many hosts on the network; take careful inventory so you can prevent any network licensing problems from developing.
